SFR188 2rs Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SFR188 2rs is a sealed single row ball bearing engineered for high reliability in demanding applications. Constructed entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage) for superior corrosion resistance, this bearing is designed to handle radial loads efficiently. Its compact inch-series design (0.25" bore, 0.5" OD) and integral flanged outer ring facilitate easy mounting and precise axial location. The inclusion of Nitrile rubber seals (2RS) provides excellent protection against contaminants, making it a robust, long-life component for various precision mechanisms.
SFR188 2rs Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 2RS | Contact seals on both sides made of Nitrile Rubber (NBR). | Provides superior sealing effectiveness against dust, moisture, and other contaminants, enhancing bearing life in harsh environments. |
SFR188 2rs Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- All-Stainless-Steel Construction: The bearing rings, 8 precision balls, and cage are made from stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and enabling use in washdown or chemically aggressive environments.
- High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 36,000 rpm, the bearing is suitable for high-velocity applications. The stainless steel cage ensures stability and low friction at high rotational speeds.
- Robust Sealing: The Nitrile rubber contact seals (2RS) effectively retain lubricant and exclude contaminants, contributing to reduced maintenance and extended service intervals.
- Flanged Design: The outer ring flange (0.547" diameter) simplifies installation and positioning within a housing, saving space and assembly time.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to ABEC1 tolerance class with a controlled radial internal clearance (MC3: 0.00008" to 0.0005"), ensuring smooth and consistent operation.
